Interior design has the power to change lives, and the future of furniture design lies in its ability to elicit a positive emotional response or cater to a need. From the imagination of a young designer comes “BEAR,” an upholstered chair intended to calm and comfort. With his forward-looking focus on product design, Otis College of Art and Design student and contemporary upholstery manufacturer namesake Nathan Anthony Mai follows in the footsteps of his parents Tina Nicole and Khai Mai, founders of Nathan Anthony Furniture.
